Xpeng: robotaxi licenses, record deliveries and international expansion
Xpeng claims a major advance in robotaxis and the obtaining of driverless driving licenses, while announcing record deliveries in October 2026, sending its stock soaring. The Chinese automaker also highlights more than 13,000 units delivered outside China in October and export momentum, while BlackRock increases its stake and Chinese automotive shares listed in Hong Kong rebound. National differences are marked: in China, new autonomous driving authorizations are granted to Xpeng and a Volkswagen joint venture, and orders surge after the launch of the MONA L05; in Norway, Xpeng outpaces Volvo and Chinese brands reach a 22.5% market share; in Israel, Xpeng is the top electric vehicle seller from January to October 2026. In Germany, Xpeng signs a record number of registrations and targets 22,000 units in 2027, in France it claims 10,000 deliveries in two years while remaining far behind BYD and MG, and in the United States the stock gains 4.5% on Wall Street even though the bet on open-source AI prompts investor caution.
